Multi-Channel IntakeInstant Policy Lookup

FNOL Automation Faster First Response

Capture first notification of loss from any channel, validate policy details in real time, and route claims to the right handler, all without manual re-keying.

Slow FNOL intake costs you claims leakage

Most insurers still rely on call handlers manually transcribing loss details into multiple systems. Delays between notification and acknowledgement increase fraud exposure, inflate indemnity spend, and put you on the wrong side of the FCA's Consumer Duty outcome expectations for timely communication.

  • Manual re-keying across systems

    Handlers copy details from phone notes into the policy admin system, claims platform, and broker portal, introducing transcription errors and adding 8-12 minutes per notification.

  • Delayed triage decisions

    Without automatic policy validation, handlers spend time confirming cover, excess levels, and endorsement conditions before the claim even reaches an adjuster.

  • Inconsistent data capture

    Free-text notes produce incomplete records that cause downstream rework during reserving, liability assessment, and FCA complaints handling.

  • FCA Consumer Duty pressure

    Outcome 3 (Consumer Understanding) requires clear, timely communication. Slow acknowledgement and missing status updates risk regulatory scrutiny.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Omnichannel capture

    Accept FNOL via web form, email, API, phone (with CTI integration), or broker portal. Every submission follows the same structured workflow.

  • Real-time policy validation

    Automatically match the loss event against active policy records, confirming cover type, excess, and endorsement conditions before the claim is created.

  • Rules-based routing

    Route claims to specialist handlers by peril type, reserve band, or geographic region using configurable business rules. No developer needed.

  • Instant acknowledgement

    Generate and send FCA-compliant acknowledgement letters with claim reference, next-steps guidance, and expected SLA within seconds of submission.

  • Structured data templates

    Dynamic question sets adapt to peril type (motor, property, liability) ensuring the right data is captured first time, every time.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Notification received

    A loss event is submitted via any supported channel. The system normalises the data into a standard FNOL record and assigns a unique claim reference.

  2. Policy validation

    The notification is matched against the policy admin system to confirm active cover, applicable excess, endorsements, and any co-insurance arrangements.

  3. Data enrichment & triage

    Missing fields trigger targeted follow-up requests. The claim is scored by peril complexity and estimated reserve band, then routed to the appropriate handler queue.

  4. Acknowledgement & SLA clock

    A personalised acknowledgement is sent to the policyholder and broker. The SLA timer starts, and the handler receives a fully populated case with all supporting documents attached.

70%

Faster notification-to-acknowledgement

Automated policy lookup and instant acknowledgement letters reduce average response time from hours to under two minutes.

90%

First-touch data completeness

Structured intake forms ensure 9 out of 10 notifications arrive with all required fields, eliminating handler callbacks for missing information.

£45k

Annual saving per 10,000 claims

Reduced re-keying, fewer callbacks, and lower error-correction effort produce measurable operational savings at scale.

Questions about fnol automation

Can SwiftCase integrate with our existing policy admin system?
Yes. SwiftCase connects to policy admin platforms via REST API or file-based data exchange. We support real-time lookups against systems like Acturis, SSP, Open GI, and CDL, as well as bespoke in-house platforms.
How does the system handle FNOL outside business hours?
Web and email submissions are processed 24/7 automatically. The system validates the policy, creates the claim record, sends the acknowledgement, and queues the case for the next available handler, so nothing waits until morning.
Does FNOL automation meet FCA Consumer Duty requirements?
SwiftCase supports Consumer Duty Outcome 3 by providing immediate, clear acknowledgement with plain-language next steps. Every communication is logged with timestamps for regulatory evidencing.
What happens if the policy cannot be validated automatically?
If no match is found, the claim is flagged and routed to a senior handler for manual review. The policyholder still receives an acknowledgement explaining that their notification is being processed.

Rules-Based ScoringFraud Flagging

Claims Triage Automation Smarter Claim Segmentation

Automatically score, segment, and prioritise incoming claims by complexity, value, and fraud indicators so your best handlers focus on the cases that matter most.

Manual triage wastes adjuster capacity on low-value claims

When every claim lands in the same queue, experienced adjusters spend time on straightforward notifications while complex, high-reserve cases wait. Manual triage is inconsistent, unauditable, and struggles to keep pace with notification volumes, especially during surge events like storms or flood.

  • Flat claim queues

    Without automated scoring, all claims are treated equally. High-value or complex cases sit behind simple windscreen or accidental damage notifications.

  • Inconsistent segmentation

    Different handlers apply different mental models to triage, producing inconsistent outcomes and making it impossible to benchmark handler performance.

  • Missed fraud indicators

    Early fraud signals (policy inception proximity, repeat claimants, suspicious loss patterns) are buried in free text and not surfaced until investigation stage.

  • Surge event bottlenecks

    Weather events and catastrophe scenarios overwhelm manual triage processes, causing SLA breaches and regulatory complaints.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Configurable scoring engine

    Define weighted scoring rules across reserve band, peril type, claimant history, policy age, and geographic risk factors, all without code changes.

  • Fraud indicator flagging

    Automatically flag claims that match configurable fraud patterns: policy inception proximity, multiple claims in period, known fraud postcodes, and more.

  • Multi-track routing

    Route claims into fast-track, standard, and complex handling streams based on triage score. Each track has its own SLA, authority levels, and escalation rules.

  • Triage performance dashboards

    Monitor triage accuracy, average time-to-allocation, and track distribution in real time. Identify bottlenecks before they cause SLA breaches.

  • Surge mode configuration

    Pre-configured surge profiles automatically adjust triage thresholds and routing rules during catastrophe events, keeping claim flow moving.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Claim ingested

    A new FNOL record enters the triage engine. The system extracts structured data fields including peril, location, estimated value, and claimant details.

  2. Scoring & segmentation

    The rules engine applies weighted criteria to produce a triage score. Claims are segmented into fast-track, standard, or complex handling streams.

  3. Fraud screening

    Configurable fraud indicators are checked against the claim data. Flagged claims are diverted to the fraud referral queue with a summary of matched triggers.

  4. Handler allocation

    The scored claim is allocated to the appropriate handler based on stream, handler specialism, current workload, and authority level. SLA timers are set per track.

  5. Triage audit logged

    Every scoring decision, rule matched, and routing outcome is logged to an immutable audit trail for FCA evidencing and internal quality assurance.

40%

Reduction in time-to-allocation

Automated scoring and routing eliminates manual queue review, getting claims to the right handler within minutes of submission.

3x

More fraud referrals at FNOL stage

Systematic indicator checking surfaces suspicious claims at first contact, before reserves are set and costs incurred.

25%

Increase in fast-track settlement rate

Accurate low-complexity identification means more claims follow the fast-track path, reducing cycle time and handler cost per claim.

Questions about claims triage automation

Can we adjust triage rules without IT involvement?
Yes. SwiftCase provides a no-code rules editor where claims managers can add, remove, or re-weight scoring criteria. Changes take effect immediately and are version-controlled for audit purposes.
How does surge mode work during catastrophe events?
Surge profiles are pre-configured rule sets that adjust triage thresholds, fast-track criteria, and routing priorities. A claims manager can activate a surge profile in one click, and the system reverts to normal rules when the event subsides.
What fraud indicators can the system check?
Out of the box, the engine checks policy inception proximity, multiple claims within a rolling period, known fraud postcodes, claimant repeat patterns, and time-of-loss anomalies. You can add custom indicators based on your own fraud intelligence.
MTA ProcessingRenewal Automation

Policy Administration Automation Simpler Policy Lifecycle

Automate mid-term adjustments, renewals, cancellations, and endorsement processing, reducing admin burden and improving broker response times.

Policy servicing bottlenecks frustrate brokers and policyholders

Mid-term adjustments, renewal invites, and cancellation processing still involve significant manual effort at many insurers and MGAs. Handlers toggle between policy admin systems, document templates, and email to process routine changes, creating delays that damage broker relationships and risk IDD non-compliance.

  • Slow MTA turnaround

    Mid-term adjustments require manual premium recalculation, document regeneration, and broker notification, a process that often takes 24-48 hours for routine changes.

  • Renewal pipeline management

    Without automated triggers, renewal invitations go out late or not at all, leading to lost premiums and gaps in cover that expose the insurer to E&O risk.

  • IDD documentation gaps

    Insurance Distribution Directive requires pre-contractual disclosure at every policy change. Manual processes make it easy to miss required documentation steps.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Automated MTA processing

    Process standard mid-term adjustments (address changes, vehicle swaps, cover extensions) through rules-based workflows that recalculate premium and generate updated schedules automatically.

  • Renewal pipeline automation

    Trigger renewal workflows at configurable lead times. Auto-generate renewal terms, invite letters, and broker notifications with no manual intervention.

  • IDD compliance checks

    Built-in checkpoints ensure IPID documents, demands-and-needs statements, and fair-value assessments are generated and recorded at every policy change event.

  • Premium recalculation engine

    Apply rating adjustments for MTAs and renewals using configurable rules. Pro-rata and short-period calculations are handled automatically with full audit trail.

  • Broker portal integration

    Push policy documents, endorsement confirmations, and renewal terms directly to broker portals or via automated email, eliminating manual distribution.

  • Policy version control

    Maintain a complete version history of every policy, with point-in-time snapshots available for claims validation, complaints handling, and regulatory reporting.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Change request received

    A broker or policyholder submits a mid-term adjustment, renewal instruction, or cancellation request via portal, email, or API.

  2. Validation & premium calculation

    The system validates the request against policy terms, applies rating rules to calculate any premium adjustment, and checks for underwriting referral triggers.

  3. Document generation

    Updated policy schedules, endorsements, IPID documents, and any required IDD disclosures are generated automatically from the policy data.

  4. Approval & distribution

    If the change requires underwriter approval, it is routed to the appropriate authority level. Once approved, documents are distributed to the broker and policyholder.

  5. Bordereaux update

    The policy change is reflected in bordereaux data feeds, ensuring accurate premium reporting to capacity providers without manual reconciliation.

80%

MTAs processed same-day

Automated premium recalculation and document generation means the vast majority of standard mid-term adjustments are completed within hours, not days.

15%

Improvement in renewal retention

Timely, personalised renewal communications sent at the right lead time increase policyholder retention rates.

100%

IDD audit compliance

Every policy transaction includes mandatory documentation checkpoints, ensuring full compliance with Insurance Distribution Directive requirements.

Questions about policy administration automation

Which policy admin systems does SwiftCase integrate with?
SwiftCase integrates with major UK policy admin platforms including Acturis, SSP Pure Broking, Open GI, and CDL Strata. We also support REST API and file-based integration for bespoke or legacy systems.
Can the system handle complex commercial policy structures?
Yes. SwiftCase supports multi-section commercial policies, fleet schedules, and package policies with section-level endorsements and pro-rata premium adjustments.
How are underwriting referrals handled?
Configurable referral triggers route changes that exceed authority limits or match specific risk criteria to the designated underwriter. The underwriter reviews and approves within the same workflow, with full audit trail.
Auto-ValidationDeadline Tracking

Bordereaux Reporting Accurate Capacity Reporting

Automate the production, validation, and submission of premium and claims bordereaux, eliminating spreadsheet errors and meeting capacity provider deadlines every month.

Manual bordereaux production is error-prone and deadline-driven

MGAs, coverholders, and delegated authority carriers spend days each month compiling bordereaux reports from disparate systems. Manual data extraction, spreadsheet manipulation, and last-minute corrections are the norm, and errors in bordereaux can trigger capacity provider audits, financial penalties, and binding authority reviews.

  • Spreadsheet-based compilation

    Teams manually extract data from policy admin, claims, and finance systems into Excel templates, a process that takes 3-5 days per reporting cycle and invites formula errors.

  • Data quality issues

    Mismatched policy references, missing premium splits, and incorrect claim reserves cause capacity providers to reject submissions, triggering re-work cycles.

  • Deadline pressure

    Monthly and quarterly submission deadlines create intense pressure. Late bordereaux risk regulatory sanctions under Lloyd's or London Market standards.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Automated data aggregation

    Pull premium, policy, and claims data from connected systems into a single bordereaux dataset. No manual extraction or copy-paste required.

  • Pre-submission validation

    Run configurable validation rules against the compiled data before submission, catching missing fields, format errors, and data inconsistencies before the capacity provider sees them.

  • Deadline management

    Track submission deadlines for every capacity provider and treaty. Automated reminders and escalations ensure nothing is submitted late.

  • Template management

    Maintain versioned bordereaux templates for each capacity provider. When a provider changes their format requirements, update the template once and all future reports follow suit.

  • Submission audit trail

    Every bordereaux submission is logged with the dataset used, validation results, and submission timestamp, providing complete evidencing for delegated authority audits.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Data extraction

    At the configured reporting frequency, the system automatically extracts premium, policy, and claims data from connected source systems into a staging dataset.

  2. Validation & reconciliation

    The staging data is validated against capacity provider rules, checking for completeness, format compliance, premium balancing, and reserve consistency.

  3. Exception handling

    Any validation failures are surfaced to the responsible team member with clear descriptions. Exceptions are resolved within the workflow and re-validated before proceeding.

  4. Approval & submission

    The validated bordereaux is presented for sign-off by the designated approver, then submitted to the capacity provider via their preferred channel: portal upload, SFTP, or email.

85%

Reduction in preparation time

Automated data aggregation and validation reduce bordereaux preparation from days to hours, freeing finance teams for higher-value work.

99%

First-submission acceptance rate

Pre-submission validation catches errors before they reach the capacity provider, virtually eliminating rejection and re-work cycles.

0

Late submissions per year

Automated deadline tracking and escalation ensures every bordereaux is submitted on time, protecting your binding authority status.

Questions about bordereaux reporting

Can SwiftCase handle different bordereaux formats for different capacity providers?
Yes. Each capacity provider can have its own versioned template with specific column mappings, data formats, and validation rules. The system applies the correct template automatically based on the reporting relationship.
How does the system handle mid-month policy changes?
All policy transactions (MTAs, cancellations, new business) are captured in real time. The bordereaux reflects the position as at the reporting cut-off date, with adjustments clearly itemised.
Does SwiftCase support Lloyd's bordereaux standards?
Yes. SwiftCase supports Lloyd's Market Association (LMA) bordereaux formats including the standard premium and claims templates, with built-in validation against LMA data quality requirements.
Can we reconcile bordereaux data against our accounting records?
The system produces reconciliation reports that compare bordereaux totals against your general ledger and premium finance records, highlighting discrepancies for investigation before submission.
Auto-MatchingException Management

Premium Finance Reconciliation Balanced Books, Every Month

Automatically reconcile premium finance instalment schedules against policy records and insurer statements, catching discrepancies before they become write-offs.

Premium finance mismatches erode broker margins

Insurance brokers handling thousands of premium finance agreements spend significant time each month matching instalment receipts against policy records and insurer statements. Mismatches from mid-term adjustments, cancellations, and commission variations create a reconciliation headache that directly impacts cash flow and profitability.

  • Manual three-way matching

    Finance teams manually compare premium finance provider statements, insurer bordereau, and their own policy records, a process that takes 5-10 days per month for a mid-size broker.

  • MTA-driven mismatches

    Mid-term adjustments change the premium but the instalment schedule may not update in sync, creating persistent reconciliation differences that are hard to trace.

  • Commission leakage

    Without automated commission tracking, brokers miss commission adjustments arising from MTAs, cancellations, and return premiums, directly impacting the bottom line.

  • Aged debt accumulation

    Unresolved reconciliation items age into write-offs. Without systematic exception management, items can sit unresolved for months before anyone notices.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Automated three-way matching

    Match premium finance provider statements against policy records and insurer bordereaux automatically, using configurable matching rules and tolerance bands.

  • Exception management

    Unmatched items are surfaced with suggested root causes (MTA adjustment, cancellation timing, commission variance) and assigned to the responsible team member.

  • Commission tracking

    Track commission earned, adjusted, and received across every policy. Flag commission shortfalls and generate commission statements for insurer reconciliation.

  • Reconciliation dashboards

    Monitor matching rates, exception volumes, and aged item trends in real time. Drill into specific policies or providers to investigate discrepancies.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Data ingestion

    Premium finance provider statements, insurer bordereaux, and internal policy records are imported into the reconciliation engine via file upload, SFTP, or API.

  2. Automated matching

    The engine applies configurable matching rules to reconcile instalment receipts against expected premiums, allowing for tolerance bands and known adjustment patterns.

  3. Exception triage

    Unmatched items are categorised by likely cause (MTA timing, cancellation, commission variance, data error) and assigned to the responsible team member with investigation guidance.

  4. Resolution & sign-off

    Exceptions are resolved within the workflow, with adjustments posted to the relevant systems. The completed reconciliation is approved and archived for audit.

75%

Reduction in reconciliation effort

Automated matching and exception categorisation reduce the monthly reconciliation cycle from days to hours.

£120k

Average annual commission recovered

Systematic commission tracking identifies and recovers commission shortfalls that manual processes miss. Figures based on a mid-size broker handling 20,000 policies.

90%

Auto-match rate

Configurable matching rules and tolerance bands mean 9 out of 10 items are matched automatically, leaving the team to focus only on genuine exceptions.

Questions about premium finance reconciliation

Which premium finance providers does SwiftCase support?
SwiftCase ingests statement data from all major UK premium finance providers including Premium Credit, Close Brothers Premium Finance, and Aon Premium Finance. We support their standard export formats and can adapt to provider-specific layouts.
How does the system handle return premiums from cancellations?
Return premiums are matched against the original instalment schedule and any outstanding balance. The system calculates the net position and flags items where the return premium differs from the expected amount.
Can we reconcile across multiple insurer relationships?
Yes. The system handles reconciliation across unlimited insurer and premium finance provider relationships, with separate matching rules and tolerance bands for each.
Is there an audit trail for resolved exceptions?
Every exception resolution is logged with the user, timestamp, root cause classification, and any financial adjustment. This provides a complete audit trail for compliance and financial reporting purposes.
Approval ChainsPayment Automation

Claims Settlement Workflow Faster, Fairer Settlements

Structure the journey from reserve to payment with configurable approval chains, automated payment processing, and full FCA-compliant audit trails.

Unstructured settlement processes delay payments and increase costs

Settlement is where claims handling meets financial control. Without structured workflows, authority limits are informally managed, payment approvals happen over email, and the audit trail is scattered across systems. This delays payments to policyholders, directly conflicting with FCA Consumer Duty expectations, and increases the risk of overpayment or leakage.

  • Informal authority management

    Handler authority limits are often managed via spreadsheets or tribal knowledge. Breaches are caught late, if at all, creating financial control and compliance risk.

  • Email-based approvals

    Settlement approvals happen in email chains, making them slow, unauditable, and easy to miss, especially when approvers are out of office.

  • Payment processing delays

    Manual payment instruction creation and multi-system data entry mean policyholders wait days between approval and receipt, damaging satisfaction and increasing complaints.

  • Weak audit trail

    Settlement rationale, reserve movements, and approval decisions are captured inconsistently, making it difficult to evidence fair treatment during FCA reviews.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Configurable authority matrix

    Define settlement authority limits by handler grade, claim type, and reserve band. The system enforces limits automatically. No payment can proceed without appropriate sign-off.

  • Structured approval workflows

    Multi-stage approval chains route settlement requests to the right authority level. Approvers can review, amend, or reject within the platform with full rationale capture.

  • Automated payment processing

    Generate payment instructions in the format required by your finance system or payment provider. Support for BACS, faster payments, and cheque runs.

  • Consumer Duty evidencing

    Capture settlement rationale, fair value considerations, and vulnerability flags at point of decision. Produce MI reports demonstrating fair treatment outcomes.

  • Reserve tracking

    Track reserve movements through the claim lifecycle with automatic alerts when reserves breach notification thresholds for reinsurance or excess-of-loss treaties.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Settlement prepared

    The claims handler documents the settlement rationale, proposed payment amount, and any applicable deductions (excess, contribution, salvage credit). Reserve is reviewed and adjusted.

  2. Authority check & routing

    The system checks the payment amount against the handler's authority limit. If it exceeds their level, the settlement is routed to the appropriate approver based on the authority matrix.

  3. Approval & sign-off

    The approver reviews the claim file, settlement rationale, and supporting evidence. They approve, amend, or refer back, all within the workflow with timestamped rationale.

  4. Payment processing

    On approval, the system generates a payment instruction in the required format and submits it to the finance system or payment provider. The policyholder is notified of the payment.

  5. Case closure

    Once payment is confirmed, the claim is closed with a complete audit record: settlement rationale, approval chain, payment confirmation, and final reserve position.

60%

Faster approval-to-payment cycle

In-platform approvals and automated payment instruction generation reduce the time between settlement decision and policyholder payment.

100%

Authority limit compliance

System-enforced authority matrices mean every settlement payment has the correct level of approval. No exceptions, no workarounds.

35%

Reduction in settlement-related complaints

Faster payments, clearer communication, and consistent decision-making reduce the volume of complaints reaching your FCA reporting threshold.

Questions about claims settlement workflow

Can authority limits be different for different claim types?
Yes. The authority matrix supports different limits by claim type, peril, line of business, and handler grade. You can also define escalation paths for specific scenarios like bodily injury or third-party claims.
How does SwiftCase handle partial and interim payments?
The system supports multiple payment stages per claim (interim payments, part settlements, and final settlements) each with their own approval workflow and running total tracking.
Can we integrate with our existing finance system for payments?
Yes. SwiftCase generates payment instructions compatible with major finance platforms and supports BACS file generation, faster payment APIs, and manual cheque request workflows.
How is settlement rationale captured for FCA evidencing?
At each stage of the settlement workflow, handlers and approvers are required to provide structured rationale covering the basis of settlement, fair value assessment, and any vulnerability considerations. This data feeds directly into Consumer Duty MI reporting.
Template EngineRegulatory Compliance

Insurance Document Generation Compliant Documents in Seconds

Auto-generate policy schedules, claim letters, renewal notices, and regulatory documents from structured data, eliminating manual drafting and formatting errors.

Manual document production is slow, inconsistent, and risky

Insurance operations produce thousands of documents each month: policy schedules, claim acknowledgements, settlement letters, renewal invites, and regulatory disclosures. When these are drafted manually or assembled from inconsistent templates, errors creep in. Incorrect policy details, missing regulatory wording, and inconsistent branding damage professionalism and create compliance exposure.

  • Template sprawl

    Multiple versions of the same template circulate across teams. Handlers use outdated wording, miss required paragraphs, and produce inconsistent output that undermines brand standards.

  • Regulatory wording risks

    FCA-required disclosures, IDD statements, and Consumer Duty fair-value summaries must appear in specific documents. Manual assembly makes it easy to omit mandatory content.

  • Production bottlenecks

    High-volume periods (renewal cycles, catastrophe events) create document backlogs that delay policyholder communication and breach SLA commitments.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Centrally managed templates

    Maintain a single, version-controlled template library. When wording changes, update the template once. Every future document uses the latest version.

  • Merge-field automation

    Pull data from policy, claims, and customer records to populate documents automatically. No manual data entry, no copy-paste errors.

  • Regulatory content blocks

    Mandatory paragraphs (FCA disclosures, IDD requirements, complaints procedures) are locked content blocks that cannot be removed or edited by users.

  • Conditional content logic

    Show or hide document sections based on policy type, claim status, or customer attributes. A single template handles multiple scenarios intelligently.

  • Multi-channel distribution

    Distribute generated documents via email, postal fulfilment, broker portal, or customer self-service portal, with delivery tracking and read receipts.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Document triggered

    A workflow event (new policy, MTA, claim acknowledgement, settlement) triggers the appropriate document template. The system identifies the correct template version automatically.

  2. Data population

    Merge fields are populated from structured data sources. Conditional logic determines which sections to include based on policy type, claim status, and customer attributes.

  3. Quality check

    The generated document passes through automated quality checks, verifying that all mandatory fields are populated, regulatory blocks are present, and formatting is correct.

  4. Distribution

    The approved document is distributed via the configured channel (email, portal, post) with delivery confirmation logged against the policy or claim record.

95%

Reduction in document production time

Automated merge-field population and template selection reduce document creation from minutes per document to seconds.

0

Regulatory wording omissions

Locked content blocks and mandatory field validation ensure every document includes all required regulatory disclosures.

50%

Fewer document-related complaints

Consistent, accurate documents with correct policy details and clear language reduce confusion and the resulting complaints.

Questions about insurance document generation

What document formats does SwiftCase support?
SwiftCase generates documents in PDF, DOCX, and HTML formats. PDF is the default for policyholder communications, while DOCX is available for documents that require manual editing before distribution.
Can we use our own branded templates?
Yes. Templates are fully brandable with your logo, colour scheme, fonts, and layout. We support multi-brand configurations for groups operating multiple trading names.
How are template changes managed?
Templates are version-controlled with approval workflows. When a template is updated, the previous version is archived. Documents generated from older versions remain linked to the template version used, supporting audit and complaint investigations.
Can documents be generated in bulk?
Yes. Bulk generation is supported for high-volume scenarios like renewal cycles, where thousands of personalised renewal invitations can be produced and distributed in a single batch run.
How does the system handle Welsh language requirements?
SwiftCase supports multi-language template variants. For firms with Welsh language obligations, parallel templates can be maintained and the correct version selected based on customer preference or address.

Binding AuthorityCapacity Reporting

MGA Workflow Automation Purpose-Built for MGAs

Manage the full MGA operating model, from binding authority compliance through underwriting workflow to capacity provider reporting, in a single connected platform.

MGAs outgrow spreadsheets but cannot afford enterprise policy admin

Managing General Agents operate in a unique space: underwriting on behalf of capacity providers, managing broker relationships, and satisfying regulatory obligations that span both the FCA and Lloyd's. Many MGAs run critical processes on spreadsheets and email because traditional policy admin systems are too rigid and expensive. This creates operational risk, limits growth, and makes audit preparation painful.

  • Binding authority compliance burden

    Coverholders must evidence compliance with the terms of their binding authority agreements: underwriting within agreed parameters, reporting accurately, and maintaining adequate controls.

  • Disconnected underwriting workflows

    Risk submissions arrive via email, are assessed informally, and decisions are recorded inconsistently. This makes it impossible to demonstrate underwriting discipline to capacity providers.

  • Capacity provider reporting overhead

    Each capacity provider requires different reporting formats, frequencies, and data granularity. Manual report production consumes senior underwriting time better spent on risk selection.

  • Audit preparation anxiety

    Lloyd's coverholder audits and capacity provider reviews require demonstrable controls. Assembling evidence from email, spreadsheets, and file notes takes weeks.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Underwriting workbench

    A structured workflow for risk submission, assessment, referral, and decision, capturing the full underwriting rationale with every quote and bind.

  • Binding authority controls

    Configure authority limits, risk appetite parameters, and aggregation caps per binding authority. The system prevents out-of-authority binds and flags referrals automatically.

  • Capacity provider reporting

    Auto-generate premium, claims, and performance reports in each capacity provider's required format. Schedule automated delivery to meet every reporting deadline.

  • Audit-ready file management

    Maintain a complete, indexed record of every underwriting decision, policy transaction, and claim event. Prepare for coverholder audits in hours, not weeks.

  • Broker relationship management

    Track submissions by broker, monitor hit ratios, and manage broker agreements. Give brokers portal access to submit risks and track quote progress.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Risk submission

    Brokers submit risks via portal or email. The system captures structured data, attaches supporting documents, and creates a quotation workflow instance.

  2. Underwriting assessment

    The underwriter reviews the risk against binding authority parameters. The system checks aggregation exposure, highlights referral triggers, and captures the assessment rationale.

  3. Quote & bind

    Approved risks are quoted with terms generated from rating rules. On bind, policy documents are produced and the risk is recorded against the relevant binding authority.

  4. Ongoing management

    MTAs, renewals, and claims are processed within connected workflows. All transactions feed automatically into capacity provider reports and bordereaux.

  5. Reporting & audit

    Automated reports are generated per capacity provider schedule. A permanent audit trail supports coverholder reviews, Lloyd's audits, and FCA supervision.

3x

Faster audit preparation

Structured workflows and centralised file management mean audit evidence is always ready, reducing preparation from weeks to days.

100%

Binding authority compliance

System-enforced authority limits and referral triggers mean every bind is within agreed parameters, protecting your coverholder status.

Increase in underwriting throughput

Structured workflows and automated reporting free underwriters to focus on risk assessment and broker relationships rather than administration.

Questions about mga workflow automation

Is SwiftCase suitable for startup MGAs as well as established ones?
Yes. SwiftCase scales from early-stage MGAs writing a few hundred policies to established operations managing multiple binding authorities and thousands of live risks. Pricing is proportionate to your operational volume.
Can we manage multiple binding authorities in one platform?
Yes. Each binding authority has its own configured parameters: risk appetite, authority limits, aggregation caps, and reporting requirements. Underwriters see which authority applies based on the class and territory of the risk.
How does SwiftCase handle Lloyd's coverholder requirements?
SwiftCase supports Lloyd's minimum standards for coverholders including structured underwriting records, bordereaux in LMA format, aggregation monitoring, and audit-ready file management.
Can brokers submit risks directly into the system?
Yes. SwiftCase provides a broker portal where appointed brokers can submit risk details, upload supporting documents, and track the progress of their submissions in real time.
FCA ComplianceFOS-Ready Files

Insurance Complaints Management FCA-Compliant Resolution

Manage insurance complaints from receipt to resolution with structured workflows, regulatory deadline tracking, and FOS-ready case files, demonstrating Consumer Duty compliance at every step.

Complaints mismanagement risks FCA enforcement action

The FCA expects firms to handle complaints promptly, fairly, and with consistent outcomes. Under Consumer Duty, firms must actively monitor complaint trends for evidence of systemic issues. Yet many insurers still manage complaints in email inboxes and spreadsheet trackers, missing deadlines, producing inconsistent outcomes, and lacking the MI to satisfy regulatory scrutiny.

  • Missed DISP deadlines

    FCA DISP rules require acknowledgement within 5 business days and final response within 8 weeks. Without automated tracking, deadlines are missed, triggering FOS referral rights and regulatory scrutiny.

  • Inconsistent outcomes

    Without structured decision frameworks, similar complaints receive different outcomes depending on which handler deals with them, which is evidence of unfair treatment under Consumer Duty.

  • Poor root cause analysis

    Spreadsheet-based tracking makes it impossible to analyse complaint trends, identify systemic issues, or demonstrate to the FCA that you are learning from complaints.

  • Inadequate FOS file preparation

    When complaints escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service, assembling a complete case file from scattered email chains and system notes takes hours and often produces gaps.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Structured complaint workflow

    A step-by-step process from receipt through investigation to final response, ensuring every complaint follows the same consistent, auditable path.

  • DISP deadline tracking

    Automatic calculation of FCA DISP deadlines with escalation alerts at configurable intervals. Never miss an acknowledgement or final response deadline.

  • Root cause analysis & MI

    Categorise complaints by product, cause, and outcome. Generate FCA-ready MI reports showing complaint volumes, trends, and the actions taken to address root causes.

  • FOS-ready case file assembly

    Automatically compile a complete case file (complaint details, investigation notes, decision rationale, correspondence, and supporting evidence) ready for FOS submission.

  • Vulnerability flagging

    Identify and flag vulnerable customers at complaint intake. Ensure appropriate handling adjustments and record the additional support provided.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Complaint receipt & logging

    The complaint is logged with categorisation by product, issue type, and severity. DISP deadline timers start automatically. Vulnerable customer indicators are assessed.

  2. Investigation

    The handler reviews policy, claim, and communication records. The investigation is guided by a structured framework that ensures consistent depth of review across all complaints.

  3. Decision & response

    The handler records their decision with structured rationale. The final response letter is generated from the complaint data, including required FCA disclosures and FOS referral rights.

  4. Quality assurance

    A sample of final responses are reviewed by a senior complaint handler or compliance officer before dispatch. QA findings feed into handler training and process improvement.

  5. Closure & MI reporting

    The complaint is closed with outcome classification. Data feeds into root cause analysis dashboards, FCA returns, and Consumer Duty board reporting.

Questions about insurance complaints management

Does SwiftCase calculate DISP deadlines automatically?
Yes. The system calculates the 5-business-day acknowledgement deadline and 8-week final response deadline from the date of receipt. It accounts for business days and bank holidays, and sends escalation alerts at configurable intervals before each deadline.
Can we produce our FCA complaints return from SwiftCase data?
Yes. SwiftCase captures complaint data in the format required for the FCA biannual complaints return, including complaint volumes by product, cause categories, and redress paid. Reports can be exported in the required format.
How does vulnerability flagging work?
At complaint intake, handlers are prompted to assess vulnerability indicators (health, life events, resilience, and capability, aligned with FCA guidance FG21/1). Flagged complaints trigger adjusted handling procedures and the additional support provided is recorded for evidencing.
Can the system handle complaints about third parties (e.g. appointed representatives)?
Yes. Complaints about appointed representatives, outsourced service providers, or delegated authority partners can be logged and tracked with responsibility attribution. The complaint remains on the principal firm's record for regulatory reporting purposes.
Does SwiftCase support the Summary Resolution Communication process?
Yes. For complaints resolved by close of the next business day, the system generates a Summary Resolution Communication (SRC) with the required content, including FOS referral rights, and records the complaint in MI as required by DISP.
Agreement TrackingPerformance Monitoring

Delegated Authority Management Full Oversight, Less Admin

Track binding authority agreements, monitor coverholder performance, and maintain audit-ready compliance records, whether you are the delegating insurer or the coverholder.

Delegated authority oversight is fragmented and reactive

Managing delegated authority relationships (whether as the capacity provider overseeing coverholders or as the coverholder evidencing compliance) requires systematic tracking of agreements, performance metrics, and regulatory obligations. Most firms manage this through a combination of shared drives, spreadsheets, and calendar reminders, creating gaps that only surface during audits.

  • Agreement lifecycle tracking

    Binding authority agreements, terms of business, and coverholder appointments have renewal dates, amendment histories, and compliance conditions that are hard to track manually.

  • Performance monitoring gaps

    Capacity providers need to monitor loss ratios, premium volumes, and underwriting quality across their delegated authority portfolio. Assembling this data from bordereaux and claims feeds is time-consuming.

  • Regulatory compliance burden

    Lloyd's and FCA requirements for delegated authority oversight (including annual attestations, audit programmes, and conduct risk assessments) create a significant compliance workload.

  • Audit preparation fragmentation

    When a coverholder audit is due, evidence of compliance, underwriting controls, claims handling standards, and financial reporting must be assembled from multiple sources.

How SwiftCase handles it

  • Agreement register

    Maintain a centralised register of all binding authority agreements with key dates, authority limits, territorial scope, and class of business permissions. Automated renewal and review reminders.

  • Performance dashboards

    Monitor coverholder performance across loss ratio, premium volume, complaints ratio, and underwriting quality metrics. Set thresholds and receive alerts when performance deteriorates.

  • Compliance task management

    Track regulatory obligations (annual attestations, audit actions, conduct risk assessments) with assigned owners, due dates, and completion evidence.

  • Audit programme management

    Plan and execute coverholder audit programmes. Assign audit actions, track remediation progress, and maintain a complete record of findings and responses.

  • Access-controlled document vault

    Store binding authority agreements, audit reports, compliance certificates, and regulatory correspondence in a secure, searchable document vault with role-based access controls.

The workflow, step by step

  1. Agreement setup

    A new binding authority agreement is registered with all key terms: authority limits, class permissions, territorial scope, reporting requirements, and key dates.

  2. Ongoing monitoring

    Performance metrics are tracked against agreed thresholds. Bordereaux data feeds update loss ratios and premium volumes automatically. Alerts fire when thresholds are breached.

  3. Compliance management

    Regulatory tasks (attestations, conduct assessments, sanctions screening) are scheduled with owners and deadlines. Completion evidence is captured and stored.

  4. Audit execution

    Audit programmes are planned and executed within the platform. Findings are recorded, remediation actions assigned, and progress tracked to completion.

  5. Review & renewal

    At agreement renewal, performance data, compliance records, and audit findings inform the renewal decision. Terms are updated and the cycle restarts.

100%

Agreement visibility

Every binding authority agreement, its terms, limits, and renewal dates are visible in a single register. No more searching shared drives or email.

50%

Reduction in audit preparation time

Centralised compliance records and structured audit programmes mean evidence is always ready when auditors arrive.

4x

Faster performance issue detection

Real-time performance dashboards surface deteriorating loss ratios and underwriting quality issues months earlier than quarterly review cycles.

Questions about delegated authority management

Is this tool for capacity providers, coverholders, or both?
SwiftCase supports both perspectives. Capacity providers use it to oversee their coverholder portfolio, while coverholders use it to demonstrate compliance and manage their obligations. The same platform serves both sides of the relationship.
Does the system support Lloyd's delegated authority requirements?
Yes. SwiftCase aligns with Lloyd's minimum standards for managing delegated authority arrangements, including coverholder approval processes, ongoing oversight, and the Lloyd's DA oversight framework.
Can we track multiple binding authorities with different capacity providers?
Yes. The agreement register supports unlimited binding authority relationships, each with their own terms, limits, reporting schedules, and compliance requirements.
How does performance monitoring work in practice?
Performance dashboards are fed by bordereaux and claims data. Metrics include gross written premium, loss ratio, claims frequency, average claim cost, and complaints ratio. You set thresholds per agreement, and the system alerts you when performance breaches those thresholds.
Can audit findings be tracked through to remediation?
Yes. Each audit finding is recorded with severity, owner, due date, and required evidence of remediation. The system tracks progress and escalates overdue items to the responsible senior manager.
